RSS777 TRL, the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory, and Road Safety Analysis (RSA) are to pool their expertise to deliver high quality road safety projects for local authorities across Britain.

With over 75 years of experience, TRL works at the leading edge of transport globally, generating and applying science, knowledge and understanding to develop innovative solutions and software. RSA was established far more recently after developing the multi award-winning MAST Online project; it has grown rapidly to deliver a range of related services particularly to the public sector.

Speaking on behalf of TRL, Tracy Savill, director of road safety division, said: “The agreement we have signed with Road Safety Analysis is another mark of our commitment to the road safety profession. TRL has a wealth of knowledge and expertise on casualty reduction and, through our partnership with RSA, we can deliver directly to local authorities who work on the front line of road safety delivery in the UK.”

Dan Campsall, communications director at RSA, said: “We have brought forward a number of innovations that are now being widely used by road safety delivery bodies across the whole of the UK but we recognise that we need to work with organisations of the calibre of TRL to go further.”
